Qantas First Class Lounge - Sydney
My day with Qantas improved, at least for a few hours, on arrival in SYD when I was met at the plane door by a Qantas First Team representative (thanks to Flyertalker ianassum for the tip), who escorted me thru transit security and then to the best part of Qantas, the SYD Qantas First Class Lounge. She had even proactively booked a spa appointment for me, which was most pleasant. Lounge food, drink and views are excellent although crowding is a frequent issue as One World rules let any Emerald on any class ticket into the lounge. All in all, a mostly pleasant two hour stay and a far cry from another round of worst-in-the-world First Class boarding.
With numerous morning departures, the lounge was pretty packed with One World Emeralds this morning at around 9:15am.
Since my inbound from AKL was delayed a bit, my PA had rebooked my facial to accommodate the delay. Clearly real F pax get priority treatment over the hundreds of OW Emeralds on J or Y tickets.
After my enjoyable facial, a little breakfast...

At SYD, starting the long trek to the Transit/Transfer checkpoint.
Which was easy today as there were only a handful of transit passengers.
After a security check, it was upstairs to the International departures concourse.
And the always pleasant Qantas First Class Lounge.
With numerous morning departures, the lounge was pretty packed this morning at around 9:15am.
My first stop was for a much needed shower.
And then breakfast with one of the best views of any airport lounge.
And a much calmer lounge an hour later after most passengers had departed.

After the long way from the plane to transit security and up to departures, we arrived at the beautiful Qantas First Class Lounge, one of the best in the world.
The elaborate living plant wall.
Attractive lounge with its unique design.
The lounge feature great plane watching and one of the best city skyline views of any lounge.
Time for breakfast.
My Croque Monsieur was delicious.
